Ould Johnny Rag was a roving ragman Rambling over the countryside Getting rags from wanton women Paying them in kind at night. Ring, rang, ragga-dagga-durah, Ring, rang, ragga-dagga-day, Ring, rang, ragga-dagga-durah, Ragga-dagga-durah-day,. When Johnny Rag came to Kilkenny Rang his bell and pushed his cart Spent the night with juicy Jenny Stole her knickers and her heart. When Johnny came to Galway Bay Got into bed with Deborah Early morn', he took away Her black suspenders and her bra. When Johnny met this brown Colleen Who was the star of the County Down He set up a lover's scene To steal away her evening gown. Though Johnny seemed a lady killer Still he had one greater love His reflection in the mirror Wearing all this women-stuff.
